    Good way to exercise, but elliptical is not the same as running.

    Elliptical is low impact, running is lots o' impact.

    So if your goal is to run 5K, you want to run outside or on the dreadmill.

    How would you switch for the walking and running intervals? Elliptical is definitely not running.
